The dCS Vivaldi APEX DAC is the heart of the Vivaldi digital playback system. Built around the dCS Ring DAC APEX architecture, it delivers extraordinary resolution, low noise, and natural musical expression while preserving the scale, timing, and emotional weight of a recording.
Vivaldi separates the core elements of digital playback into dedicated components. The DAC focuses purely on conversion, while streaming and upsampling are handled by the Vivaldi Upsampler and timing by the Vivaldi Master Clock.
Vivaldi APEX is the classic dCS reference DAC: pure conversion, extreme resolution, and the modular flexibility to build a truly no-compromise digital front end.
